Bairs Otago Hotel — Restaurant in Victoria

Wouldn't bother with this one especially if you've got young kids. Quiet Monday night and the meal still took over 1:15 hr. Had the chicken Parma with chips and vegies and the seafood pasta. The Parma was ok, nothing to rave about. The chips were Luke warm and the vegies were very so so. The pasta at least was hot but if you're not into garlic then don't go this one as it's hard to taste the meal over the garlic, it's been smashed by it. The prawns were way overcooked till they were soft and mushy and the whole meal was covered in those cheap shrimp they put on pizzas, heaps of them, like more than a hundred.

Overall the place is comfortable, the staff are really friendly and attentive, the restaurant/bistro is clean and comfortable, and the food is...

We come in for dinner I ordered a scotch but I received a porterhouse which is only meant to come with the mixed grill it’s not even an option to order but I think the arrogant chef would have though we wouldn’t notice even though there is a pretty big difference not only was it the wrong steak but it was cooked as well done when it was ordered as medium. Another person that joined us for dinner also ordered the scotch his was double the size of mine and he ordered it as medium yet he received it blue he couldn’t even eat it. I write this with full confidence knowing what I’m saying is true as we also had fully qualified chefs at dinner with us. We were going to bring this to the staffs attention at the time but at this point we just wanted to get...
